Thanks,

Wes -

Very interesting image. I don't know this region so it is hard to get a good sense of the scale. There seem to be many horizontal streaks and gouges in the lower section.

Hi Wes,

Really cool pic of a rarely imaged area, be interesting to get Chucks analysis of that volcanoe like structure!

RE-- your question about the IR passband filter, I like the Baader one better because it lets through more light. It seems that the filter helps most on those nights with wild swings in the seeing. It seems to lessen the worst seeing degradation and give more useable sharp frames. Unfortunately it does not magically create better seeing just less of the bad!!

cheers
